Safety Earth Ground

Before Applying Power

Servicing

This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing

ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only

be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth

contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or

outside of the instrument, will make the instrument dangerous.

Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with this product.

Failure to ensure adequate grounding by not using this cord may cause

product damage.

If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by

the equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a

normal condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.

This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution

Degree 2 per IEC 61010-1.

The measuring terminals on this instrument are designed to be used with

external signals described in Measurement Category I, but NOT with

external signals described in Categories II, III, and IV. The input of this

instrument cannot be connected to the mains.

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.

To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you

are qualified to do so.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only

with the same or equivalent type recommended. Discard used

batteries according to local ordinances and/or manufacturer’s

instructions.
